(54) Worktop


(57) Worktop (1) having its top side provided with a finishing layer (2), which is applied on a supporting plate (3) of a heat-conductive material, in particular aluminium. The supporting plate (3) is bonded on portions (5, 7, 10) of substantially U-shaped, adjacent or abutting profiles (4, 14). In a first embodiment, the profiles (4) form a connection with a further aluminium plate (15) mounted at a distance from the supporting plate (3) and in a second embodiment the legs (6) of adjacent profiles (4) being square to said supporting plate (3) are connected to one another, in which they have further been provided with inwardly flanged edges (7). The U-shaped profiles (4, 14) are obtained by rolling aluminium plate. The walls of the profiles (4, 14), which have been bonded to the walls of an adjacent profile (4) or to the supporting plate (3) are provided with grooves (11). The U-shaped profiles (4, 14) are mounted against the supporting plate (3) in the same position or alternately and its body (5) can be provided with U-shaped bulges (8).
